Rolf’s peaked over ten years ago. It now rips off tourists and wannabe influencers with overpriced underwhelming drinks. The surly staff vibe and inflation/covid rebound hidden prices only work if you have a worthy product. I’m a bit surprised they have a PR engine eager to get a positive article. Then again, the social media crowd comes and goes, while locals can sustain. This is one native New Yorker who’s never going back, and I will take any subsequent posts on this substack with a grain of sea salt.
